Predictive correction in internal combustion engines

A method for predicting knock in an engine, the method comprising:

• sensing combustion at multiple locations inside a cylinder including:
• sensing a first combustion signal on or in a spark plug;
• and
• sensing a second combustion signal on or in a fuel injector;
• comparing a timing of the first combustion signal to a timing of the second combustion signal;
• and
• adjusting engine operating parameters by dividing fuel injection into two or more intervals in response to the comparison of the timing of the first combustion signal to the timing of the second combustion signal.
